A Research Assistantship is available on the ESRC-funded project
Intonational Variation in Arabic
http://www.york.ac.uk/res/ivar/

Application Deadline: 11-Aug-2011

The IVAr project will create a corpus of Arabic speech recordings in
which speakers record a parallel set of sentences, stories and conversations.
A basic dataset will be collected with 18-24 year olds in five regions of
the Arab world, and in two of these regions an in-depth survey will collect
additional data with older speakers (50+) and in neighbouring cities.
Prosodic transcription of the intonation patterns observed in the corpus
will provide the basis for publication of descriptions of the typical
intonation patterns in individual dialects, and comparisons among them.

You will conduct fieldwork, undertake both quantitative
auditory/acoustic phonetic and qualitative data analysis (to include prosodic
transcription in the Autosegmental- Metrical framework), and participate in the
dissemination of findings. You will hold or will have submitted (prior
to commencement of employment) a PhD in phonetics and/or phonology and you
will be a native speaker of Arabic. Previous experience of fieldwork
and/or prosodic transcription is also advantageous. Relevant training will be
provided where necessary. Excellent IT proficiency and time management
skills are required.

The starting salary will be £28,893 per annum (GBP). The post is
available on a fixed term basis for up to 36 months.

Informal enquiries can be made by contacting Dr Sam Hellmuth before July
30th, contact information below.
